    Ow! Ow! Ow!

    I personally despise the fact that every newspaper article about Cecelia Ahern seems legally obliged to run under a headline that begins “P.S.”

    P.S. Cecelia bags movie deal.
    P.S. Cecelia enjoying life stateside
    P.S. Cecelia’s old man is a lying, hateful cunt

    Sorry to be pedantic but there was no such team, it was either Caledonian or Partick Thistle. The full name is now Inverness Caledonian Thistle which is a merger of two clubs Inverness Thistle and Caledonian FC . Geographically they are miles apart.
